Raven travels to the US to continue the search for nocturnal animals. In San Francisco, Raven discovers that the city of flower power has been transformed into the mecca of the tech industry, where you can become a millionaire at a young age, but also run the risk of becoming homeless. The city is struggling with the devastating impact of the drug fentanyl, which is causing serious damage, especially among the homeless. Raven meets a pastor who hands out socks and attends a Kambo session, where frog poison induces an altered state of consciousness. And then there is the encounter with a vampire, which leaves little room for imagination.

Raven seeks out nocturnal animals in the land of the free, the United States. Raven sets out to discover if it is true that New York, as has been said for so long, is the city that never sleeps. So he meets Cameron on Broadway, who has come to town to realize his dream as a musical star. He also comes across Coss, an ex-dealer who, after several prison sentences from the state, has now been given the opportunity to legally sell weed. Raven also meets Power Malu, who works day and night for the migrants who come to the city and are frowned upon by many.

Raven explores Austin's eccentric nightlife, where a biohacker experiments with her DNA, veterans hunt pigs at night, and runners dress up and dash from bar to bar.

Raven dives into the exuberant nightlife of Miami. Here Raven meets male strippers who pull out all the stops night after night for a frenzied female audience. In addition, Miami is full of clinics where women undergo a Brazilian butt lift en masse. Raven meets a woman who has to keep moving at night because she has just undergone such an operation. Miami also has a raw side: Raven is there when the police raid someone who has violated his bail agreements. Off the coast, Raven discovers a floating community that cleverly avoids skyrocketing house prices by living on boats.
